Sri Lankan Raw Jackfruit Curry (Kiri Kos Maluwa)

I can say Jackfruit is only second to rice for Sri Lankans. Rice is the staple food. After that we use jackfruit in different way in our food. We have different recipes using jackfruit from its young stage, to mature jackfruit to ripen fruit.

If I talk about me, Jackfruit is my all-time favourite in any type of recipe. After I left Sri Lanka, I couldn’t eat this curry but I could find very young stage fruit (polos) sometimes. I was really & badly missing the taste of this curry. Last month my brother visited me & when my mother asked me what I need, I told some other things, but not about this. Reason is I know it is very difficult to remove seeds & pack. But another day when I talked with her, I just shared that I haven’t tasted this for more than 4 years.(Reason is when we visit Sri Lanka, it is not the season for mature fruit.)She already knows that I like this because in my childhood, I always ate more jackfruit with less rice if she cooked this. (And I didn’t touch any other curries :) )

Finally I received a parcel of raw jackfruit from Sri Lanka with her love. Among all other work & among all others around her telling that this jackfruit may spoil once I receive them; she had prepared the parcel alone. And it is a big portion which we could eat several times keeping in the freezer.(upto 2 weeks)

So here is my favourite raw jackfruit curry (Kiri kos maluwa) & I cooked it reminding how she cooked it. And yes, I had more curry with less rice after a long time.... :)

After I saw the event ‘For u mom’, I wanted to post this recipe. I want to appreciate Nupur’s attempt for organizing an event for us to post a recipe dedicated to mum….

Cover with a lid & cook in medium heat for about 15 minutes or until jackfruit is well cooked. (Do not open the lid at least until 10 minutes, so that jackfruit will cook evenly,but remember to add enough water to prevent drying it faster)

I didn't know they cooked using jackfruit.. all i was aware was to use the seeds in sambhar & enjoy the fruit with honey.. This is indeed the best part of blogging..got to know a dish from srilanka now..It is zoo sweet of ur mom amy to parcel this.. they always go the extra length :)..Thanks for linking ur fav dish :)

Jackfruit is one of our favourites too; I just saw a bunch at a local South-east Asian gorcery store. Our version of jackfruit curry is simple and spare. Very interesting use of spices too: ground mustard? Will try this.
